[Blindmath] Quick Assistance

[Tim in 't Veld]

Hi,
As pointed out on another list Amanda was victimized by hackers, this is 
a standard fake message hackers use. See
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/gmail/5EgmxtNMO08/6ylgcK7shd4J

Probably someone hacked her gmail account, sent this fake message to all 
the e-mail addresses in her contact list (I got this message in person 
and through 2 lists) and hopes people react. If people do respond and 
offer to send money, the criminal (who is reading Amanda's e-mail) will 
react under Amanda's name and give a bank account number (or some other 
place you can send money to).

Amanda, wish you all the best. This must be a horrible experience.

Tim
